Ofcourse man, did my research after all that mothers milk saga. Safe to eat, not safe to vape. Just wondering if there's any that has permissible levels of it. If not I guess I'll stick to my fruity stuff!

There might be, but i havent found anything on that subject yet. Could be one of those well kept secrets by eliquid companies. >_<

Hi everyone, question about sweeteners. Stevia actually.

1) Does all Guardian/Watsons store carry pure stevia? I read that it is sold under the brand Jovia.

2) what form is it in? I'm assuming powder? How much should I add to my 50ml concoction?

Thank you so much guys.

How much Stevia do you use per 30ml bottle?

i mixed it with VG, 6 sachets per 30ml and steeped for 6hrs, not the best method because VG are much thicker and harder for crystals to dissolve so i would recommend PG or ethyl alcohol(ethanol) both steep for 1-2hrs will do just well.

Just tried the 30pg/70vg juice i mixed 3 weeks ago, can't really taste anything. I did the speed steeping method (sit uncapped in warm water) at around the 2nd week and shook the bottle once in a while. Should I steep it more? Or should I just make a new batch of 50/50 vg/pg?

speed steeping with the cap opened usually are for tobacco based juices, lightening heavily mentholated or scents juices that requires not more then 72hr, long exposure to air will kill the nicotine level and overall quality of your flavors.

Think is better to recreate a new batch, i cant think of anyways to salvage a 2week old uncapped juice.:(

70vg will definitely have less flavour. I think make a 50/50 batch and see how it goes.

Do you know how much stevia is in a satchet / how heavy is it? 5mg? 10mg? I bought a taikoo brand of stevia sweetener and its 150g total (no satchets). The packaging says 1 teaspoon of stevia = 2 teaspoons of normal sugar, if that even helps lol.

Its in a 1 big sealable plastic packet, I haven't opened it but it feels like sugar so I'm going with powder form. Now to find a 1.5g spoon...

Ingredients are: Erythritol, Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides), Vanilla Extract. Are these ingredients safe to vape?

found a thread discussing about Erythritol but honestly, those are ingredients within ingredients which i would totally be mindful to read them up first, like Erythritol are sugar + alcohol, Steviol Glycosides are stevia + water and Vanilla Extract are percolating vanilla beans + ethyl alcohol + water, wouldnt that looks like more than you're asking for?

Now i cant say whether is 100% safe to inhale but whatever it is, use a tiny amount and listen to your body.
